Rheumatoid Arthritis: Occupational Therapy Assessment
Usually by the time the patient with rheumatoid arthritis requires or opts for surgery, there would have been quite a bit of joint damage and some degrees of subluxation or deformity of the joints. Comprehensive occupational therapy assessment would include physical, physiological, psychological, social and environmental perspectives of the patient with rheumatoid arthritis. It is often at this stage also that many of the patients would probably have stopped any form of paid employment, except for housewives who would still be doing household chores.
The things that the hand occupational therapist will be looking out for includes power, presence of deformity, any signs of subluxation, skin temperature, pain and range of motions will be assessed. Given the fact that rheumatoid arthritis has its cycles of exarcebations and remissions, it'd be good to keep an assessment mindset over at least 3 sessions to ascertain the hand and its function. It'd be good also to breakdown the assessment over 2-4 sessions depending on patient's ability to tolerate each session, as not all patients would like to keep travelling to the clinic. Read more…
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Energy Conservation For Our Patients Part 2
There are many equipments and tools that have been created to enable living comfortably for a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, they enable mobility and function, as well as protect joints from additional trauma or damage by positioning the joints in optimal biomechanical position.
We must understand that with a new rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis, the patient with be given and taught a lot of information with regards to the management of joints, pain, energy conservation, joint protection, equipment and tools etc – there is a limit of how much a patient can understand and retain, so it'd be a good idea for continuity of care and protection information by creating an information sheet or booklet. This booklet should be informative in terms of definition, exercises, what activities to avoid, what equipments to purchase and how to use them. Read more…

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Joint Protection Program To Protect Your Joints 1
Rheumatoid arthritis affects the joints, causing biomechanical changes, pain even, thus, biomechanical forces that are externally driven such as low but repetitive trauma or stress, or even trauma can exacerbate a joint riddled with arthritis. For this reason, the joint protection program was conceptualised and further developed for our patients. The main goals of this program is to first and foremost prevent aggravation and secondly, to relieve pain and minimise deformity from occurring.
Principles for the joint protection are:
1. using adequate and correct body biomechanics to perform tasks eg using larger or stronger joints to perform activities, using the hips and knees for lifting objects rather than using the back, pushing objects instead of pulling, using a trolley instead of carrying heavy items etc Read more…
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Energy Conservation For Our Patients Part 1
It is a common occurrence during the earlier stages of the rheumatoid arthritis disease that the patient with the new diagnoses will try to resume their previous tasks, roles and habits as much as possible, in a bid to return to normal. Often they end up trying too hard and injures or aggravates their affected joints.
Energy conservation, at all stages of rheumatoid arthritis is important, and when combined with the joint protection program, will result in better preserved and protected joints for the patient with rheumatoid arthritis. Read more…
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Psychological Implications For The Occupational Therapist Part 2
Patients newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis needs to be treated with respect, and we as health care professionals need to recognize and be able to identify and recognize that they (the patients) have emotions, ideas, values, feelings, hopes – by doing this we affirm him or her, their identities, their beings, creating a positive effect on their self image and self esteem.
For this to happen smoothly, we may have to setup the environment in such a way that it facilitates such an encounter, or we facilitate the patient using guided questions, or getting them to participate in "open" activities that will help them to express. Many times, a simple listening ear is more than enough. From here, we can identify and check if they have any wrong understandings, or had apostrophized their rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis, and correct them. Read more…

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Psychological Implications For The Occupational Therapist Part 1
A person newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (or any medical conditions for that matter) usually gets shocked, before becoming anxious then settling into a saddened and depressed mood. There is a grief cycle that he or she will go through, as grief for losing a part of themselves, their health and fitness. By the time the person suffering from the disease's progression to reach a stage where operation is required, they would have gotten over the initial shock, but will still be vulnerable to bouts of moodiness, depression and helplessness.
These are common and usual response of people towards having to live with pain and deforming disease. Sometimes, antidepressants are required to manage sleep, loss of weight etc. Read more…
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Joint Protection Program To Protect Your Joints 2
The principles of joint protection program
1. Patients are advised not to engaged in activities or tasks that requires a prolonged fixed grip or grasp on a tool, such as in the activity of cutting (where patient has to hold a knife in a fixed position), knitting a blouse, or even holding up newspapers to read.
2. Patients are to schedule their days and activities, and to schedule rests in between their activities, to prevent exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis flare up Read more…

text: Hi, I've started thinking of setting up a quarantine tank ever since I bought a new plant for my aquarium (haven't set it up in my main aquarium yet, placed it in a small tank I have). My main tank is 9.2 gallons, so it has small fish in it. It has a pump filtration system with aeration outlet included, a lamp and a heater (set to 27C). How should I start? I was thinking of buying a cheap large plastic fish tank, a small filter fit for its size, but no heater nor lights. I have a bit of gravel substrate left, I can add a few plastic plants I have and that's about it. What will the maintenance different between the main tank and quarantine tank be? I'm new to starting quarantine tanks.

I just downloaded these from my camera and I just had to share at least one of them!!
We went to the Wildlife Refuge after the rains. It was amazing to see everything to alive and bright since we've had a drought the past couple of years. There were huge herds of longhorns enjoying the green grass. Some were grazing and some were just laying around.
Check out the other "critters" being shared at….
Also, I'm going to be bringing back Foto Finish this weekend. I hope that you'll join in and link up!! If you'd like to find out more about Foto Finish, just click here.
I'm 6 Years Old!!
Alright, so it's not me….it's the blog!!
Commotion is 6 years old today. I can't believe that!! Time has gone so fast.
I know that I blog a lot less than I used to, but I still enjoy it. I feel like I've finally taken ownership of it made this blog all mine. That means that I had to give up on the idea of having lots of followers and readers, but it was a sacrafice worth making. It allows me to blog about whatever I want and not just stick to one single topic.
Normally, I'd give you a bunch of stats from the past year. I can't do that this year, as I moved the blog to a hosted domain. My stats only count from that point on. That is by far, the biggest event on the blog in the past year. The move was a lot of work, but it was well worth it. I'm still working on moving files and making sure that links work. In addition to that, I still get plenty of visitors on the old blog looking for my printables. Despite signs and notes that I moved, they haven't found there way to this new location yet. I have hopes though!!
What has your year been like?? What do you like or dislike about the "new" blog?? What do you want to see more of….or even less of?? Let me know your thoughts on Commotion, as I always love to hear from my readers!!
I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I promise that I have several drafts saved and just need to upload files or make thumbnails. Then you'll be all caught up on what's been going on around here and have access to my latest printables!!
I want to let all my readers, and especially my followers (by e-mail) know that I've changed clients. If you currently follow me via e-mail, you'll have to re-sign up to get my newsletter. I'm no longer using the one that comes with WordPress and have switched over to MailChimp.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience that this might cause. However, it's my hope that this will make it easier for everyone to keep up. The new newsletter is set to be released every evening at 9pm on any day that there's a new post. I was going to go for a weekly newsletter, but I figured that I don't post that often, so daily (or whenever I post) will work for everyone. Also, it's only a snippet and you'll have to click on the article to finish reading it.
Please sign up for my new MailChimp newsletter updates to follow my blog via e-mail by using the form in the right hand column to "subscribe". I appreciate it and look forward to you following along!!

You are the greatest kid and each day I'm so proud of you. I see the woman/lady that you're becoming and I know that everything is going to be alright. You know what you want and you're going after it….and don't ever stop doing just that!! Keep after those dreams and remember to enjoy these days and the good times. You deserve all the best and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for him blessing my life with you and everything that comes with it!!

Armor of God
Tonight's lesson was all about bringing the Armor of God to my students. I wanted to show them in a fun way that there are things that they possess to protect them from evil.
I created a couple printable to use with my class, then I made a couple extra things in hopes that others would be able to us them. First, there's a set of memory match cards. The armor is matched to its virtue. There are also two worksheets. One of them is "Label the Armor of God" and the other is "Armor of God Cut & Paste" where the armor is cut and glued next to the virtue.
Finally, it's the big one!! I called it "Roll the Armor of God", but it has so many other uses. It can be used to roll a die and place the Armor of God on the soldier. This can also be used for a felt story set, which is basically how I used it with my kiddos. I read the Bible verse to them and they dressed their doll in the armor as I read the verse. It could also be used as a simple paper craft to do with the kids. There's 2 versions of this all in one download!! There is a boy and girl soldier doll, as well as a black & white version or color version. Then for the "Roll the Armor of God", there's just the virtue listed or the piece of armor with the virtue to use depending on the age of your kids.
On a side note, these activities are based on the Catholic version (NAS) of the Bible. The only part that I didn't use was the wording for "having girded your loins in truth". I chose to use "belt" instead as it's easier for my little ones to understand. I did choose to use "shod your feet", as they grasped that it was shoes/boots and I didn't want to use "sandals" as many do and hubby drew me great armor boots.
Here's a sample of some of the items for the Armor of God (click to enlarge)….

It's April….Already
April first already?!?! Really!?!?
I can't believe how fast time is going. I can't believe that it's already April.
This is going to be a busy month for us, but it's all going to be good!! I just wish that time would slow down a bit. I miss some of the time I used to have to just kick back and enjoy. April also means that we're close to the end of the homeschool year. WOW!! The first year of high school will be down and out. So many other things coming this month, but again, it's all good.
To all the "fools" that take the time to read my blog and follow along, a very Happy April Fools' Day to you and I hope that you don't get too many pranks pulled on you!!

Advent Wreath – A Paper Craft
This week, I did an Advent Wreath paper craft with my class. We had so much fun doing this. It was quite a bit of work for them to do, but they loved being busy and seeing their final product. They just love to take their projects home!!
This is a 4 candle wreath. I know some households and churches place a white candle in the middle, but we don't teach it that way. You could print out an extra candle if it's your choice to teach it that way in your class or home.
Here's a sample of how this craft could be completed (click to enlarge)….
There are several ways to decorate this craft. Some suggestions are to use buttons or fake holly berries or add red glitter to the paper holly berries. Use fake holly leaves on the wreath instead of the paper ones or add glitter to the veins in the paper holly leaves. Candles could be colored with crayon, markers, or wrapped in tissue paper. The flames could be covered in glitter and placed on the candle the week that the candle is lit. There are also 4 labels to place on the candles for what each one stands for. There are several possibilities for this paper craft!!

A Lesson of Thanksgiving
This week, our lesson is on Thanksgiving. Before I get to that, I just wanted to let you know that I do have a blog post about last week's lesson. It was on the Bible and I created a craft for it using images that I'd found, but I've been waiting for hubby to draw me some so that I could share it. He's now completed those drawings for me, so hopefully by this weekend I'll be able to get it posted….and it will still be dated for last week since that's when I did it and saved my draft post.
Now, onto this week's lesson!! I simply love doing the Thanksgiving lesson. I teach very little, except to tell them that they should be thankful and why. I then open the class up to telling me things that they're thankful for and why. Sometimes, it turns into a "competition", but in a good way. They start to realize all that they have at such a young age and when someone says something, they almost have to match it. The reason why I like that part of it because they are so young and sometimes don't realize what they do have for what they've been blessed with. It turns out to be very enlightening!!
Here's a thumbnail view of 2 of the activities that we'll do in class….
The first activity is a coloring page with the pilgrims praying. It has the Bible verse for Colossians 3:17 on it as well. If you'd like to download this activity, just click to…..
The coloring book image comes from Calvary Baptist Church Online and is © Calvary Kids Pages.
The next activity is a coloring/drawing one. The page says "I'm thankful for…." and the kids will draw something that they're thankful for. Then, I'll have them write what it is on the line. There is also one without the line for those that don't want to have their kids write (or the kids can't write quite yet). If you're interested in this thankful activity, just click to….

Down Again
Miss K and I have debated for a long time about changing the day that we weigh in. It seems like Tuesday is here before we know it and it seems so soon after a weekend. Today we finally made the change!!
One of the reasons that we want to weigh in on Wednesday is because the only days we don't work-out are the weekends. on Tuesday, we're back on schedule, but sometimes still have weekend weight. I've always weighed less on Wednesday then on Tuesday. It's been that way since the surgery. I always weighed on Tuesday, then my appointments were always on Wednesday. Each time, I weighed less at the appointment.
I haven't been keeping accurate tracking for a little while. We're having issues with the scale recording the changes from weigh-in to weigh-in. My record sheet has disappeared and I just haven't taken the time to find it. I finally found it and am back on track today!!
With that, I've lost another pound. Yippy!! That puts me closer to that 50 lbs. mark. I'm so tired of telling people "almost 5o pounds". HAHA Only 2 more lbs. before I hit a huge mark on the scale too. I've set this goal and thought I'd reach it sooner, but it's close now. I feel like once I hit this mark, it's all downhill!!
On another weight loss note, Miss K lost this week too. I'm so proud of her!! She's working at it hard and I see her putting effort into it. I know she struggles with this and has done a great job maintaining. She's a great kid and I love seeing this sort of spirit in her!!

It's a shame that we are covering up your mat, Nancy Lanthier…But it is serving a great purpose as Cougar's mat for his food and water dishes. Thank You!!
Uncommon Joy
Hi there. My name is Nancy Lanthier and I am the founder of UNCOMMON JOY. A maker of Hand Designed, Hand Painted Floor Mats, Wall Art and Table Centerpieces and Greeting Cards. I've always enjoyed seeking that "artistic" side of me, ever since I can remember. Growing up I sang in the choir, played guitar, wrote poetry and journaled. As the years went on, I wondered what I could create with my hands. I sought out what Sheridan College had to offer and enrolled in their Craft and Arts Program. I've created pieces learning how to blow glass, sculpted some sweet ceramic pieces, learned how to make handmade paper and book binding. I loved it all! One day, I pulled out my old journal entries and poems, bought a sketch pad and started to design drawings that moulded well with my writings and then painted them on canvas. I finally found what brings a smile to my face and rest to my soul. Designing, creating and painting pieces of art that tell many stories of my life, thus far. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did creating them.

I had an especially crappy day at work today, so I decided to head over to the local Beer Garden to drown my sorrows in a couple of Spaten Lagers. Good idea?! I think so.
Anyway, I heard this song at the bar and it kind of cheered me up. So now you get to hear it too.
Elton John - Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters (buy album).
Music is good.

The Indigo Girls do a good cover of this; it's on one of their live albums, I think. Helped me rediscover the original (as great covers should do).
I'd pass it along, but I'm about 600 miles from my desk...maybe later this week.
Good choice of beer to drown the sorrows, by the way.

Festivals are a respectable and integral part of a British summer these days, but it aint always been that way. This is the story of those that died in the festival wars so people could wander around farms in designer wellies and big foam hats without getting arrested.
Not quite the definitive history of the UK free festival scene of the 70s/80s/90s, more a snap shot – an oral history with a collection of anecdotes from people who were there at the time.
Bridget Wishart, member of the Hippy Slags and the only woman ever to front Hawkwind, is as well connected as anyone to collate these stories. The list of contributors reads like a who is who of UK counterculture. Nick Turner (Hawkwind), Swordfish (Magic Mushroom Band), Penny Rimbaud (Crass), Mick Farren (Pink Fairies and journalist) are just the tip of the iceberg of the contributors. Even our own Clint Iguana gets to have a say. Bridget Wishart herself is particularly open and talks of personal issues she had to deal with as a result of being involved with the scene.

Many factors can affect the surgery out-come, including body type, medication, medical history and past surgeries; it is essential to have a confidential assessment with Dr Hertess and her team of nurses to help you make the right decision.

Cabinet also discussed the draft POS note on Transitional Arrangements prepared by AW and made the following comments on the draft:
a) There needs to be an acknowledgement that the London situation is different because of the Mayor's plan;
b) Minerals and Waste authorities need to be added in to Para 2.8
c) Separate out Minerals & Waste authorities as different in Para 2.9 Regs 7d) and e) (maybe via a footnote)
d) SPD role needs to be clarified ahead of inquiries
e) Minerals and Waste implications have been lost in the NPPF and need to be addressed explicitly
f) The overall style of the note is good and it is helpful that it flags up actions to be taken by authorities.
Cabinet noted that the aim was to revise and publish the note immediately after publication of the NPPF but in the meantime both CLG (Steve Quartermain) and PINS (Keith Holland) would be asked for their comments.
Cabinet agreed that the trustees would sign off the final document (MH/MS/MK as a minimum)
Cabinet also received the updated LG contract tracking chart, which had been previously circulated.

Rock of Gibraltar - a monolithic limestone rock 426 feet in height, located in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula, the Strait of Gibraltar. Cliff is in the territory of Gibraltar, an overseas territory of Great Britain. Known as one of the Pillars of Hercules, as evidenced by a monument in the southern part of the cliff. North African pillar is either Mount Acho in Ceuta, or Jebel Musa Mountain, which is located on the territory of Morocco. Rock is also known as Mount Tariq, Jabal al-Tariq (Djebel al-Tarik) in honor of the Arab commander Tariq ibn Ziyad, whose name was the name of Gibraltar.
The upper part of the mountain is highlighted in the reserve, which is home to around 250 Barbary macaques - the only species of wild primates in Europe. Monkey and the labyrinth of tunnels attract a large number of tourists every year. A unique feature of the rock is a system of underground tunnels with a length exceeding 50 km
Calcite, which consists of limestone, slowly diluted with water, and over time are formed in the cave. Therefore, the rock of Gibraltar has more than 100 caves, the largest of which - St. Michael's Cave - located on the western slope of the mountain and is often visited by tourists

This is a page from
Aromatherapy For Your Soul by Dr Silvia Hartmann
Melaleuca Alternifolia:
Supportive, fragrant health, clean, fresh, uplifting, drawing
towards the positive, bringing health and bringing life with a
Tea Tree is the most friendly and approachable
member of a family of aromatherapy plants which are
all particularly relevant to spiritual cleansing and
refreshing. Tea Tree is tempered with a light touch
and friendliness that makes it the most accessible
of the spiritual disinfectants and so it is popular
with everyone, from small children to people who
feel weak and vulnerable, to the elderly, and
deservably so.
There once was a person who had let a small injury run
out of control through lack of care so now it had become
a big problem and they were taken to a hospital.
In this hospital, there were many nurses who were all
very strict about hygiene, cleanliness and doing the
right things to make people well; but there was one
amongst them who was young, and cheerful, and her spirit
was bright.
She was very friendly and the person felt much happier
in her presence than with the other nurses who tended to
be very serious and tut and make them feel it was all
their fault; and when they got better, they send a thank
you card made out especially to "my sunshine nurse".

Blazewind is property of Blazewind.
Blazewind is a Pyrus, Ventus and Darkus brawler. She is a very quiet girl when she is shy, but can be very talkactive when someone got her attention. As a member of the Family of Fire, she is good with flames. She has normal emotions, like humans do. She's usually happy, unless if a specific incident happens that make her change her feelings. She loves her brother Firestormblaze and her other relatives. She tries to keep calm at diffucult situations, but somehow fails.
When she is in a fight, she either takes it seriously or annoys her opponent sometimes, or she frightens them off by her fire styles. She can put out water with fire by making it into steam somehow. She can use a little bit of wind, too.
She is sometimes picked on, but tries to ignore it or scare the bully off.
She enjoys going at the beach, eating icecream, cookies and cake and spending her time with her friends and family.
In Bakugan: Zatokaian Wars, she is much more powerful, stronger, smarter and more mature than previous series. But like always, she loves her family and friends.
Blazewind has red eyes (teal in Bakugan Dimensions), golden skin, and long black hair. She often hangs around Dan to battle, or at school with friends. She is a Pyrus brawler like her brother, but uses only pyrus Bakugan. In the opinion of Blaze, "Blazewind is a way better Pyrus brawler than I am, I use Spitfire any how". She is a kind-hearted, nice and friendly brawler.
She often like wearing black and red, but likes full red or full black too. She also loves putting her lose but oftenly putting them in pigtails. When she turns into her flame form she is covered in flames, which frighten people off.
In Zatokaian Wars, she dropped the pigtails and thought of the style being "childish". She also appears to wear more jewellery and formal clothes.

For Steven Merkel, Tuesday was Day 42 in his latest deployment.
Like a good military man, he's been counting the days in his Big Law career, which kicked off in a high-powered position—chief operating officer of 600-lawyer Barnes & Thornburg.
Merkel brings with him a distinguished 30-year career in the U.S. Army, where the now retired colonel most recently served as chief of operations for the United States Military Academy, commonly known as West Point for the military outpost where it is based some 58 miles north of New York City.
Within the past month, Merkel has been undergoing a crash course in the business of law and the politics of law firm life, where the chain of command is dispersed among partners who hold varying degrees of power. At Barnes & Thornburg, that gives Merkel about 225 partners to answer to each day.
Merkel said he has spent late nights and weekends studying law firm profitability, compensation schedules and other aspects of managing an Am Law 100 firm. He hasn't lost his military-like loyalty to mission; it has just shifted focus.
"I have a desire to go to bed every single day smarter than I woke up. And so far I have," Merkel said. "I want our firm managing partner and all of the partners in this firm, whether it's in the next week, month or year, to look back and say, 'You know what, I don't know exactly what we were thinking when we hired Steve, but I sure as hell am glad we did.' That thought crosses my mind every single day."
There has been a learning curve for partners, too.
Merkel's bio is rare if not unique among Big Law executives. For instance, he lists as an accomplishment rescuing seven hostages who were being held south of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. After some lawyers who had read his bio were hesitant to ask him about that experience, Merkel said he wanted the opportunity to explain it to his new colleagues.
So, Merkel told them how he and three others cleared an alley and entered a house where members of a military police patrol had recently been taken after an ambush. Merkel's patrol freed the seven hostages, including a roughly 10-year-old boy.
"They looked at me like I'm half crazy," Merkel said. "It's hard to explain, I think, to other people why you would place yourself at risk for somebody that is not like family."
While Big Law may be a new mission for Merkel, he is no stranger to running the operations of large, geographically dispersed organizations.
He spent a year in Kabul, Afghanistan, as chief of operations for a multinational security force that put him in charge of about 5,000 soldiers from 15 countries with a budget of nearly $1 billion. Before that, Merkel was stateside, serving as chief of operations for the U.S. First Army, where he oversaw 11,000 people spread across the country and managed a $425 million budget.
In building high-performing teams in those management roles, Merkel said he has built a view of teamwork that relies on three fundamental principles: Communicate, cooperate and contribute. As for leadership, Merkel said the most important trait is humility.
"It's the idea that I'm not going to ask you to do something I wouldn't do myself," Merkel said. "That humility has always helped me deal with the strongest personalities. You'd be amazed how often what can be sharp edges on those personalities very quickly round off when they know the person they're talking to is candid, genuine and trustworthy and in this case is genuinely committed to the firm."
Merkel, a native of southwest Indiana, said he has found a number of similarities between the law and the military in his month-and-a-half at Indianapolis-based Barnes & Thornburg, which named Robert Grand as its new managing partner in 2014. One of those similarities is the high demands of clients in both areas.
"I'll go so far as to say that the expectation is we're not going to lose," Merkel said. "A soldier could no more show up on the battlefield than could an attorney show up in a courtroom and say, 'I'm just going to wing it.' Heck no. That's not what our clients demand. That's not what we're going to give them. The fact of the matter is we are in the business of getting results. And that's what our clients deserve. And that's the same whether you're in the military or in a law firm."
The high expectations in both environments can lead to a reluctance to change, said Merkel, pictured right exhorting some cadets at the annual Army-Navy college football game.
What has worked for the military in the past, like what has worked for lawyers in the past—those at Barnes & Thornburg are no stranger to change—is what they are most likely to do going forward. As a leader charged with driving change in the military, Merkel would often implement small pilot programs to show and explain how a change may benefit his soldiers. He said explaining change to lawyers in a straightforward way can work, too.
"Oftentimes, what you have to do is first explain logically in a way that a soldier or attorney could understand the impact that this change is going to have on them: Will this increase my profitability? Will this make me more lethal?" Merkel said. "That gives you a ticket for the next stage."
Merkel said he and his wife were looking to move back to the Midwest from West Point. He said he was prepared to leave behind character traits in the military that he valued most: Trust, loyalty, the willingness to work hard and dedication to a singular mission.
But he was pleasantly surprised that the people at Barnes & Thornburg shared those qualities and were "exactly like the group of people I served in the military," he said. It's safe to say that Merkel has brought that sense of loyalty to his new firm as well.
"I consider myself to be the biggest ambassador of this firm," Merkel said. "And if I meet a stranger on the street, I'm going to find a way that within five minutes of talking to you that you know I belong to the Barnes & Thornburg team. That's how proud I am of this firm and these people."

LANSDALE >> The next permanent police chief for Lansdale could be named as soon as Feb. 21.
Borough Council President Denton Burnell gave an update Feb. 7 on the search that began upon the retirement of previous Chief Robert McDyre last year.
"We have made an offer. I'm not at liberty to disclose (more) at this point in time; we're still in negotiations on that," he said.
McDyre led the department from October 2009 until his retirement in March 2017, and council named Detective Sgt. Mike Trail to the position of acting chief effective July 31, 2017, while the search for the next permanent chief has been underway.
"I can say we're very close to having that completed, and I'm very optimistic that at our business meeting we will be announcing, and hopefully voting to approve, a contract," Burnell said.
Borough Manager John Ernst also reported that council and the union representing borough police are also close to completing negotiations on a new contract for the officers, to replace an agreement that expired at the end of 2017.
"I believe both sides are really close to coming to an agreement. That contract expired Dec. 31, so we are a month and a half into the next contract period," he said.
Madison widening work
Work to widen a portion of Madison Street should start soon, according to Ernst, and could be done by the end of the year.
"The contractor for that project was given an official notice to proceed. By contract, the length of that project is 270 days, and that contract date has started," he said.
Last November ground was formally broken for construction of a complex of apartment buildings atop the borough's Madison Parking Lot, and at the same time a contract was awarded for a planned widening of the adjacent Madison Street. Parking spaces that previously ran parallel to the roadway will be reconfigured to run perpendicular to the road, and borough officials have said roughly 18 street parking spaces will become nearly 70 by doing so.
Ernst announced that the terms of the construction contract mean the majority of road widening work should be done by late October, and the current Madison Street must remain open while the widening is underway.
"There may be times where overlaps happen, and they may have to close for a day or a couple of hours, but by agreement, the contractor has agreed that the street will remain open as a thoroughfare," he said.
Staff, police and the borough's traffic engineer have all been in contact with businesses in that area, according to the manager, and have been made aware of the upcoming work and alternate parking arrangements while it is underway.
"I know that's made a big difference. They're nervous, but they like that the borough has been proactive, as much as possible," councilman Jason Van Dame said.
Big-ticket purchases coming
Several large capital project purchases could be on council's agenda during their Feb. 21 meeting.
Ernst and Finance Director John Ramey reported that council will be asked on Feb. 21 to approve items including the $550,000 purchase of a new electric substation near Richardson Street. The transformer purchase to be funded by a contribution from developer Equus Capital partners as part of their agreement to develop the Madison Parking Lot.
"They did give the borough the money that's pretty much paying for that," Ramey said.
A second capital purchase on the Feb. 21 agenda will be approval of three new vehicles for various borough departments: a $178,000 bucket truck for the electric department, a $32,000 Dodge Ram pickup truck with a plow for the Parks and Recreation department, and a $23,000 Ford Escape for the borough's wastewater treatment plant staff.
Staff are also preparing a detailed presentation on new fleet management programs and tools that have been developed internally in recent months, to help track vehicle maintenance, usage, repairs, and possible resale values, according to Ernst.
"We can evaluate when it's time to get rid of a vehicle, versus continue to spend money and put it into a vehicle that we will never get any money out of in the future," he said.
A third purchase slated for approval will be an additional $30,000 for upgrades to the borough's fiber optic network, which will connect all borough buildings and most of the utility poles. Completing a full loop of fiber optics could be more attractive for outside communication companies to co-locate their transmitters or other equipment on borough poles.
"Once we complete the loop, we become a much more attractive location for that to happen," Ernst said.
Lansdale's borough council next meets at 7 p.m. on Feb. 21 at the borough municipal building, 1 Vine St. For more information or meeting agendas and materials visit www.Lansdale.org or follow @LansdalePA on Twitter.

Hello there you happy fish. I want you to know that this is the one of the first few image results for "happy fish".
I guess he does look happy. But more like a forced happy, like the kind that clowns at birthday parties have to put on to amuse the children. Anyways, back to Free Lunch. It's been a really long time (2+ weeks) since I've posted a Free Lunch, but we're back now! If you don't know what Free Lunch is, basically, I just sit down with a device for 5 minutes and write as much as I can before I am out of time.
I'll be starting at 5:31.
Now it begins. What begins, you might ask? If you did ask, I would be inclined to tell you that it's Free Lunch. You already knew that, this was just filler. MWHAHAHA.
In meaningful or at least slightly thought poking news, we didn't have too much work in our classes today. This was very welcome, as I was able to accomplish absolutely nothing in the free time I had for finishing early. Literally all I did was write the introduction to this post (fish and all), leave it, and play Santale and Bad Time Simulator for the rest of the time.
We still don't have a band teacher, and the substitute got angry at me for correcting her. Ever since she was hired she's been trying to get us to do non-band stuff in band. She had wanted us to write Haikus, and put that Haikus were 7-5-7 syllables…
I can't wait until she's gone. Though she did redeem herself slightly by letting me play Trumpet in the back room, I still don't like her very much.
My time is up for this Free Lunch. I'm sorry that it was a little on the short side, but hopefully it retained your attention nonetheless.
Thanks for reading all the way down to the bottom of this post :1
Dictionary Taboo:
Minute shreds or ravelings of yarn.

One of the most important rooms of the house is the powder room. The one way you try and make guests feel more inviting. If you are at lost with designing your powder room, take at look at what Eazywallz has to offer. With an enclosed space there is not much you can add to create an appealing room. Too much stuff can clutter the room so why not go with an Eazywallz wall mural to add that special look to the room!
To start off, the powder room should be a lighter theme to not close in the room. With minimal space you are forced to work with, Eazywallz can help you accent the room whether it be another color or a beautiful pattern. Try our wavy white pattern or our subtle white wood panels to create a great look. If you like the mural to standout why not throw in some bright light colored murals like our red poppy flowers.
If your space lacks natural light, enhance the look by bringing the outdoors inside with a nature theme. We have tons of nature wall murals that can bring your walls to life! Take a look at our animals and nature categories to get a better idea of what you like to showcase on your walls for everyone to see.
If you don't know where to start, browse through our wall murals in the shop category. Take note on what catches your eye or what colors make you feel warmed and welcomed.

Answering a classified for an account executive, Keith Davis dialed the toll-free number listed. An automated voice answered, and described the position, company, work hours and location. Still curious about the job, Davis, 53, answered questions about his education, work experience, and other basic information using buttons on the telephone keypad.
Six minutes later, he learned that he qualified for a personal interview and was prompted to schedule an appointment. "The convenience was really terrific," says Davis, who has 25 years of sales experience. "Usually you have to put together a resume and wait to hear something. This is immediate and you don't need a resume until the actual interview. Also, there's no telephone tag." Within a day or two, Davis received a phone call from the Cleveland telecommunications firm, and within two weeks was hired. It's the prescreen interview technique of the '90s–fast and direct, and only for the prepared.
Industries with high employee turnover, such as retail, manufacturing and service, need to be able to recruit large numbers of employees, and are turning to technology for help. While it's primarily hourly workers they're looking for, more middle managers and professionals, like nurses and pharmacists, are now being targeted.
Interviewing methods such as telephone screening include interactive voice response, as in Davis' case, and computer-assisted candidate screening. During a computer-assisted screening, job seekers speak to a "tele-recruiter." This person will ask questions pertaining to your job performance. For example, if interviewing for a customer service job, the tele-recruiter might ask how you handled a difficult customer. The tele-recruiter is prompted by a variety of questions, depending on your answers.
Videoconferencing, another form of interviewing, has become very popular with campus recruiters who cannot visit every school. Last year, Susan Luedke, 31, a former production assistant at the El Paso Times, interviewed via videoconferencing with Andersen Consulting while attending the University of Texas at El Paso.
"The interview was more relaxing, and you don't feel as much under fire," recalls Luedke. Although it's difficult to sell yourself during the screening process, the interview is objective, convenient and quick. "This format does have some drawbacks, however, such as being more impersonal than a regular interview and somewhat sterile." Luedke eventually had a face-to-face interview and landed a consulting position in the Hartford office.
If you're applying for a position in the consulting or technology industry, don't be surprised if you complete most of the screening process over the Internet. One consulting firm required candidates to complete an application, provide writing samples and answer a series of multiple-choice questions over the Net. Candidates were later contacted by recruiters for one-on-one interviews.
Here are some tips on how to handle three high-tech screening processes:
Telephone screening interviews: Tele-recruiters evaluate you on your answers and on how you sound, says Tom Janz, an industrial psychologist for Personnel Decisions International, a human resources consulting firm in Minneapolis. "You need to sound alert, responsive and positive. Before your interview, get others to listen and comment on the degree of optimism and interest in

ENGLAND should start tomorrow's opening one-day international as narrow favourites after the withdrawal of Shane Bond, the up-and-coming New Zealand fast bowler, with a stress fracture of the ankle.
The Black Caps yesterday called up Ian Butler, 20, as a replacement for Bond, who recently finished the VB Series in Australia, his first one-day international tournament, with a table-topping 21 wickets plus the man of the series award.
Bond's injury will keep him out of the five one-dayers and the Test series, depriving New Zealand of arguably the speediest bowler in their history. But while Butler has played only three first-class matches, he also possesses genuine pace - a quality regarded by the selectors as essential in one-day cricket.
"It is a bit of a punt," conceded Sir Richard Hadlee, who chairs the panel. "But speed can slow the scoring-rate down. It stops batsmen getting onto the front foot and also makes horizontal-bat shots more dangerous."
Butler played for Northern Districts in both their practice matches against England in Hamilton last week. He dismissed Michael Vaughan on each occasion with searing throat balls that took the glove. But while he clearly has talent, he also looked a little unfinished, banging the ball in short and conceding an average of five runs an over.
Nasser Hussain, the England captain, described Bond's injury as: "A shame, because we were looking forward to shaping up to him." But the news will strengthen his chances of stealing a win in Christchurch, the most uncannily English city in the southern hemisphere.
It is England who have the form, after successive victories over India in the cauldrons of Delhi and Bombay. Over in the VB Series, New Zealand went off too quickly, eliminating the hosts from their own tournament before tailing away to finish with five consecutive defeats. Even a pep talk from film star Russell Crowe - compatriot and cousin of Martin and Jeff - failed to lift them ahead of their final clash with South Africa.
"The first two games will be crucial," Hussain said yesterday. "New Zealand have played some very good cricket recently, up until the last week or so, but now they are on a little bit of a downer. Both sides will be a little bit tired after the amount they've played, so how that first game goes will be very important."
England's latest opposition could hardly be more different from the Indian team they held to a 3-3 draw. Here, the strength is not so much in the top order, where an opening partnership between Chris Nevin, the recalled wicketkeeper, and Nathan Astle, New Zealand's leading one-day run-scorer, lacks the intimidation of Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag.
Instead, it is the finishing power of Chris Cairns and Chris Harris that should be worrying Hussain. As well as batting at No 6 and No 7, these two estimable all-rounders will bowl most of the mid-innings overs.
If England are going to make big scores, they may have to get after the new-ball attack of Butler and Daryl Tuffey, another seamer who faced them in both Northern Districts games. The first 15 overs will again be important, though Hussain argued that New Zealand's pacier pitches would make for "more normal cricket" than the bowlers' graveyards of India.
"Our last two or three tours have been to the subcontinent and Zimbabwe," Hussain said, "but the conditions here are going to be more like the World Cup in South Africa. How we adapt will be the most important thing for the future."

"You are one amazingly talented person."
"You're the most generous man since Shakespeare."
"I've been trying to live my life the way you live yours, and I've been happier as a result."
So devoid of snark and vitriol, the above affirmations emerge from what might seem an unlikely source: the online world of an Ivy League school.
Such outpourings of admiration are the driving force of Columbia Compliments, a Facebook page that publishes anonymously submitted adulations by and about members of a vast and occasionally alienating university.
Like those submitting the epistolary affection, the forces behind Columbia Compliments withhold their identities as a way of preserving the integrity of their project. The site's overseers include the forum's founder, a 19-year-old junior at Columbia College, and two Columbia seniors he enlisted to keep up with demand.
"The whole point of this is that it's anonymous," explained the founder. "If I knew who was involved, I would be a lot more conservative about what I say."
The notion that anonymity inspires healthy honesty was popularized by, among others, PostSecret, a seven-year-old blog that shares secrets that have been submitted via postcard.
The compliments on the Columbia page take many forms, some carefully crafted (a haiku in which the final line is "refrigerator") some hyper-effusive (an all-caps proclamation of "bro" with 73 additional o's) and some that might seem corny if they were not heartfelt, like this one from Monday afternoon:
I am so glad to have gotten to know Stephen Zhou this year. You are incredibly kind to everyone and your Christmas card made me feel so special and loved.
One of the most acclaimed accolades, with nearly 600 "likes," simply thanked the staff at JJ's Place, a campus dining hall. Anything that resembles a compliment is posted, with recipients' names tagged as a means of notification.
Regardless of the package, the messages – along with the accompanying burstlet of Internet stardom – come as a wonderful surprise to those who receive them.
"This is the first time that I've seen the Internet machine used for love firsthand," said Jack Walden, 20, a Columbia junior. Though he has suspicions about who might have submitted a YouTube video of his comedy showcase, a larger part of him enjoys the mystery. "It's so much better to have it come as thunderbolt from the gods, that it just happens, that you feel better that day," he said.
Unsure whom to thank, he chose to pay the favor forward by lauding other friends. "I think I went on a binge of four or five in a row because, you know what, it's untraceable," Mr. Walden said. "It's a little bit like a guilty pleasure. You fall into it the way that people fall into things on the Internet, except this doesn't hurt your G.P.A."
The site's caretakers said that in just this way, one compliment often generates another.
Founded in the weeks leading to Thanksgiving, the Columbia page appeared shortly after one at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario. The idea caught on around the world and compliments boards can now be found at nearly 100 institutions of higher learning in the United States, Canada and Europe; a university in Singapore; and a high school in Pakistan.
At Columbia, the Compliments page has inspired offshoots, like Columbia Admirers (a place for students to submit anonymous posts about their crushes), the not-quite-as-popular Columbia Insults (more satirical than malicious) and even Columbia Chutzpah, which has yet to gain much traction.
And the virtual acts of kindness have also spilled over into real life with a series of uplifting posters featuring a Motivational Owl that appeared on a bulletin board in Butler Library during finals last month.
In a school year that began with a suicide of an incoming student, the Compliments page provides reassurance that learners are not alone.
"My impression is that sometimes, with first-year students, it takes longer to find friends" than at other, smaller institutions, said Helene Foley, a professor of classics at Barnard since 1979.
"There are all these friendships being formed, but you don't necessarily see them," said Nina Sabado, 19, a Barnard first-year student who received kind words from a neighbor in her residence hall. Public displays of affection provide that visibility.
The initiative has even touched those who don't contribute to the site. "Reading some of the compliments has made me proud to go here," says Aliza Goldberg, 21, a junior studying English and ancient studies at Barnard. It also inspired her to proclaim on her own Facebook page that she didn't "need the veil Columbia Compliments" to publicly sing the praises of a classmate.
Unveiled compliments are fine, too, the Compliments team said. "If you have the courage to do it person, you'll do it in person," said one of the page's caretakers. "If you don't have the courage to do it in person, this is a way to do so."

Whew, made it through four days of bringing Jack to work! Monday and Tuesday went very smoothly. Yesterday afternoon was a bit of a challenge, and today was not so good. At least Joe got out of school early and was able to pick Jack up just when he started to really get fussy (refusing to nap and eat – I think he's overstimulated from the visitors today). My co-workers have been great and assure me that it's been great having him here. Easy for them to say!
I am actually getting caught up at work. I am a lot less stressed. I can't believe I made progress this week!
To help relieve my depression, I worked it out with Joe to spend either Sunday mornings or afternoons out doing something without the boy (and he will get the rest of the day – morning or afternoon – to watch football). This Sunday I'm going to the movies with Jann, I think. Running with Scissors is coming out!
I may have been mistaken about the nursing strike. It's possible that Jack is just being a fuss bucket because of the teething. I don't know. I do know that it's incredibly stressful to have your child cry and hit you when you are trying to feed him. It's now extremely difficult to tell when he is hungry (what with the hand in the mouth all the time) and if I offer when he isn't hungry, he gets totally pissed. I haven't been handling this behavior well. I hope it stops soon.

This may finally be the year that video games get their due at the box office. It's been touch and go for years now, with studios releasing one lackluster adaptation after another without ever doing justice to the source material, but several upcoming releases on the horizon portend potentially great things for cinematic adaptations of popular game franchises. While all eyes are currently on Warcraft, it might just be Assassin's Creed that brings gaming back from the movie theater abyss.
The first trailer for Assassin's Creed, which stars Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Apocalypse), Marion Cotillard (Macbeth) and Jeremy Irons (Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice) was released earlier this week - and while the look of the film was remarkably beautiful and seems to keep many of the most popular elements of the franchise intact, the music was less than stellar. Beneath the sounds of Kanye West's "I Am a God", much of the beauty of the film's look was lost, and the choice was baffling to many fans, especially when you consider the awesome power of the games original score.
For anyone who was turned off by the preview due to the inclusion of Kanye, YouTube user Vincent Vendetta may have solved your problem. Almost immediately after the release of the trailer, Vendetta uploaded their own version of the trailer using the score from the game. The result will, for many Assassin's Creed fans, be far more effective than the studio-approved cut of the trailer, and makes the upcoming adaptation look all the more impressive for it.
Director Justin Kerzel, who reunited with his Macbeth stars, Fassbender and Cotillard, for the upcoming movie, has a remarkable eye for both color and scene, and with the accompaniment of the game's score, Assassin's Creed comes to life with vivid results. The video has already earned a respectable 290,000 views on YouTube. Though it pales in comparison to the original trailer's views, it's a stunning bit of insight into how much the choice of music can affect one's perception of a movie trailer. Whereas the music of Kanye West made the trailer seem a bit trite and turned off many fans, this re-edit may be able to bring some of the naysayers back into the fold.
Hopefully, the studio is listening and readjusts the marketing campaign accordingly. Kanye is a divisive figure in pop culture, and his music isn't exactly the best fit for a movie such as this. It's important to note, however, that the movie itself won't feature the game's cinematic score. Instead, it features the compositions of Jed Kerzel, whose work on Macbeth and The Babadook helped elevate the atmospherics of both those films to become intricately woven into their very fabric. Perhaps, then, it would serve the studio well to include bits of his upcoming work into future trailers to give a more accurate view of the movie as a whole.

NATO Jet Shoots Down Prophet Mohammed In Ten Minute Dog Fight
by Sir Percival Pissgums on 18/02/14 at 7:00 am
Kabul, Afghanistan
NATO forces confirmed today that a Royal Air Force F-16 shot down the Prophet Mohammed crossing over into Afghanistan air space after ignoring requests that he turn around and head back to Pakistan.
RAF officials say the pilot shot several warning bursts in front of the Islamic fighter, but it didn't acknowledge the warning, instead the pilot appeared to take evasive action. Finally, the US-made jet slammed a missle into the flying carpet. The F-16 pilot reported that there was no escape parachute spotted and wreakage hasn't been spotted yet in the rugged mountainous area. The pilot's wingman Capt. Angus McCord (flying alongside in another F-16) captured the action on a hand held digtal camera.
Officials say this is the first recorded dogfight of the war in Afhanistan and have issued a formal conplaint with the Islamic religious representatives through the Swiss Embassy. The US has no formal diplomatic ties with the Islamic Council nor the cult that pretends to be a non-secular government entity.
Facial recognition software confirmed that the pilot of the Iranian-made flying carpet was indeed the Prophet Mohammed after comparing facial images found in a recent Danish newspaper cartoon.
Lt. Colonel Baxter Moore-Phillips, a veteran of the First Gulf war, said his was just a coincidence that he spotted the Iranian craft since it was flying so low. "It was the RPG vapor trail that I spotted first as the bugger seemingly killed scores on the ground at a Christian Convent school for girls."
Salvage and recovery teams are enroute to recover the flying carpet which will be displayed in the Queen's office as a floor runner in Buckingham Palace after all holes are patched.
The Prophet's remains will be properly buried in an old Spam can in accordance with some abscure Islamic Law.

About us
History of the Association
Special education in Japan developed after the Second World War, and the number of researchers increased in number at the beginning of the sixties. As a result, there was a movement towards the establishment of an association for special education in Japan. Sekishin Ojima, Kiyoshi Sakakibara, and Sanshirou Nishitani were the key persons in the formation of an executive committee, and, in November 1963, the first meeting took place at the former Tokyo University of Education. The first president of the Association was Mantarou Kido.
The present aim of the Association is to work for the development of and progress in scientific research in the area of special education and special needs education in Japan. The main activities of the Association are holding an annual Convention aimed at the promotion of research in the area, publication of the Japanese Journal of Special Education and The Journal of Special Education Research, and contacts between the Association and related organizations nationwide and abroad.
Members come from a broad range of areas, including research on special education, education, health, and welfare or rehabilitation. The number of members as of November, 2003, was 3,900. The Association is composed of eight disability-oriented subcommittees: blindness and low vision, deafness and hard of hearing, intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, health disabilities, speech and language disabilities, behavioral challenges, and severe and multiple disabilities; and a general subcommittee.
Holding the annual convention of the Japanese Association of Special Education
Every year, the Japanese Association of Special Education holds an annual convention in the fall.
Publication of Scholarly Journal
The Japanese Journal of Special Education (Japanese articles and English abstracts) is issued 5 times a year. The Journal of Special Education Research (All articles written in English) is issued 2 times a year.
Both Journals are edited by the editorial committee and the executive editorial committee.
Research Activities
Based on requests from the members, an ad hoc research committee can be formed to cover a specific topic.
Meetings for administration of the Association
General assembly, board officers' meetings and executive directors committee meetings are held regularly. Meetings for editing the journal,
future planning
, and investigating other matters relating to special education are also held as part of the administration functions of the Association.

text: Hey there, I've been searching around to see what the differences are between the PSP Phat and slim & lite. I've read that the phat has better homebrew support, but the Slim & Lite has double the amount of memory which makes for better loading times. My question is if it is possible to put custom firmware on a PSP Slim & Lite with 3.90 or 4.1 firmware? Also what's the difference in homebrew support between Phat and Slim? I don't care much about homebrew, except for the PSX, N64 and GBA emulators. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but all faqs I can find are either outdated or are telling different things. It's getting quite confusing Thanks for the help!

Forming Voices Out of the Noise
There's nothing quiet about the room where the writers are writing – quietly. The art studio at the Drop-In Centre is filled with artists' bright creations and artists themselves. A man stands in the corner painting and we hear his brush strokes on the canvas. Another man plays an electronic piano at the other end of the small, cramped room. He wears headphones so the music is muted. Although we hear his fingers banging on the keyboard. Other men sift through papers and cardboard looking for a canvas. Some mutter to themselves about finding the perfect piece. Nursing students from the University of Calgary come in and out of the studio. They walk softly, as not to disturb anything.
When I first started my memoir writing workshops at the centre, one of the participants told me to always expect interruptions. Before the Drop-In my teaching spaces have been calm and absent of any intrusion. Writers have quiet and room to muse about their pasts, to wonder about their futures. The writers at the centre have to build walls to keep the sounds and delays from cutting into their memories and puncturing their tomorrows.
But no matter what they're presented with they keep going. They keep writing. Other classes might have complained about the noise and the clatter and the chatter. These guys don't and I'm in awe of the stories that break through the din to claim their own voice.

Worst Cheap Business Class Kits
Yesterday we discussed the top of the line business and first class travel kits, but we didn't give you the skinny on the kits that received the poorest reviews.
With three out of six stars, Air Canada is among three airlines that received low rankings for their vanity kits. With black socks, earplugs, toothpaste, lip balm and few other things, the business class kit isn't particularly pretty.
Condor received the same rating, but at least their blue and white nautical kit for economy. With toothpaste, ear plugs, eye covers, headphones and a few other things, it's not flashy, but wouldn't make you feel special. No wonder it isn't used in business class.
Finally, Iberia failed to impress the testers, though the three star vanity business kit is pretty nice. With a colorful bag, L'Occitane products, ear plugs, socks, hair bands, foldable brush-comb, and more, it's surprising that this vanity kit didn't fare better.
All in all, these vanity bags aren't bad for what it costs our savvy Cheap Business Class Aficionados to fly business class.
Enjoy. Bon Voyage, Cheap Business Class Aficionados!

Hello Survivor Fans,
This is part 1 of our 2 part Survivor Guatemala preview show.
In these 2 episodes, we'll read through the bios and study the pictures of each player. Then we give our feedback based solely on this data. We'll more than likely be completely wrong with the majority of our predictions, but that's just part of the fun. :)
These two shows are extra special because we got some great audio predictions from Gloria, Bill and Enzo on the new contestants too.
So lets get started at guessing who will be the first to go and basically list the reasons we think each person may or may not have a chance at winning.
As always, if you have comments or feedback, you can call and leave a voicemail at 206-350-JASS(5277). You can record an audio comment on your PC and send it to us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can also send us your input as a normal email and we'll read it into the show when we record. Lastly, there's a link for comments on the webpage here. It's not too late if you want to add your predictions to the record. :)
Note: We're continuing to experiment with a new program called CastBlaster to record the show. We're still learning how to use it, so don't be surprised when you hear some drops and clipping. It's not your player, it's us actively learning a new application.
Also, we're playing music from the podsafe music network. Make sure to check out that site if you're looking for some new tunes for your mp3 player.

"We will meet again, I promise" – interview with Tamás Tor, EYOF volunteer coordinator
We have planned for a long time to do an interview with Tomi Tor. We had to wait until the end of the EYOF to do so., since he worked and smiled through the whole event as a volunteer coordinator. He openly talked about everything regarding the volunteer's world and about settling in Győr maybe someday.
–I came from Budapest to the invitation of my friend Rudi Pásztor, who was a leader of the volunteers' on the EYOF. I have been doing volunteer work for four years now both domestically and internationally. The EYOF was a big challenge from the very start, and reminiscing about it now I have to say it was an unbelievable event, where a huge amount of work waited for the volunteers. The support of the Erasmus+ Sport Program of the European Union meant a huge financial security during the project at the planning of volunteer training, events, uniforms, catering and logistics.
Tomi and his colleagues directed more than 1500 volunteers from all age groups. Hungarians and foreigners both felt important to offer their help during the EYOF.
– I am here from the beginning, I met almost every volunteer personally, and I was there by the auditions too. I have a good name and face recognizing memory, I noticed a lot of them, so good relationships and friendships were made. It's good to be a volunteer because firstly you have a responsibility and secondly you can relax, you are amongst people, you get to know new faces and places. I saw on the participating volunteers that they loosened up day by day, they are enjoying the whole event more and more and maybe they didn't even know at the beginning what they will be a part of.
While we speak a lot of volunteers arrive to get their "thank you" certificate, which will remain an eternal memory for them. Young people, older people, it a very diverse age group. This was new just for a little while for everyone, than it became conventional with time.
– We could give everyone a job. Even those people too, who didn't speak any foreign languages. One of my favourite stories is linked to this too: an elderly lady was set in the catering pavilion, she watched with pleasure the appetite of the athletes. She met her gaze with a curly haired boy from Portugal and they started to talk, with tooth and nail of course. At the end she just caressed the boy and said "beautiful" to him. It's an eternal memory. That's it. Sometimes you don't have to know a language and speak with words.
It turned out also, that during the EYOF so far strange people made friendships. After work they used to go in groups to the city to relax a bit, they took a walk, chatted, drank some beer or just enjoyed to be a part of a community. The youth of today lives in a very stimulus rich environment, the EYOF showed them, that the personal relationships and the common experiences are still very important.
– I have a very stable friendship circle many of them do volunteer work. They were by my side now too; they knew how to cheer me up in my strained or harder moments, how to make me go on. It was good to see that the EYOF volunteers had also the opportunity to make so deep and maybe lifelong friendships during the event. I think there will be some big stories, I hope the better ones will reach to you too one day.
Tamás Tor spend the bigger part of his everyday life in Győr since February, he got to know and got to love the city. He thinks he could maybe settle here someday, as he said, we will hear about him in the future. This is no wonder; it was obvious that the volunteers grew fond of the smiling guy. They signed a volunteer t-shirt for him on the last day, a vast amount of them became friends with him on social websites and he still gets messages to the email@example.com e-mail address.
– This address will surely work up until the end of September, but we ask for patience from those who send us e-mails, we will answer you, but we have still a lot of work to do. Many volunteers couldn't get their certificate yet; we will provide opportunity to do it later. At the end of September we will celebrate a big EYOF volunteer closing event, we will inform everyone about it in time. So we really don't say goodbye to this adventure yet.
